Delphi Control Arms?

[aslusher]

Chasing down a vibration and I am looking over control arm brands / pricing as a next step. My car is now nearly 15 years old and I am definitely not looking to trick it out, just to keep it running well without burning through tires.

I have read a lot about lemfoerder and febi control arms and was initially going to go with one of these, but I noticed delphi parts available all over for this project. Not much in the forums on delphi specifically for audi / vw control arms. Anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with these? Would substantially drop the cost for me in maintaining this old horse, but I don't want to buy parts that will crap out after 2 yrs.

Go with meyle Hd instead. Much cheaper than oem and best aftermarket option

The delphi arms seem to come in the FCP control arm kits, I have not had a bad one to date and I've got 3 B6s and a B5 and maintain 2 more and use them almost exclusively, rockauto sells them as well but you don't get the lifetime guarantee like FCP offers, the Karlyn arms they sold briefly however I had a balljoint go dry and creaking in 3000 km but I would buy the delphis again in a heartbeat.

Agreed Delphi from FCP Euro. Im running their upper and lower arms and the car rides straight, smooth, vibration free, and the steering is so sharp and direct.

Another vote for Delphi from FCP. I've used their lifetime guarantee multiple times and it's been completely painless.

Was that on the Delphi arms or other parts?

While having a warranty is good, I really just want to buy a set of arms that has a warranty that I never end up using. Swapping lowers is a PITA. That's why I went with the Lemforder's. Hopefully they hold up.

It's been on other parts. I've had my control arm kit from them installed since 2012 without any issues. I've put about 75k miles on them.

Went with the 12 piece Meyle HD kit from Europaparts.
For my 04, nice set.
